New Primus Gig Poster!

by ncwinters on October 6, 2021

New Primus!

Maybe my favorite poster to date. I know I often say “I had an absolute blast working on this one” but this one truly was a total joy, and fun to push in a more natural direction. When I say ‘natural direction’ I mean that I pivoted away from my usual: a heavy focus on the technical setup of designing art for screenprint. Instead, this time I played with a new setup where I was able to focus more purely on just the art side of things. I’m extremely happy with the result.

I do have to give special attention to Isaac and Aleisha at Lady Lazarus for doing more of the heavy lifting on file setup than usual to make this pivot possible. I try to make my files as printer-friendly as possible (not always a victory) but on this one, I left more of the technical to them and they really made the final print sing.

The poster is for last Tuesday’s sold out show at the Beacon Theater in New York City (oh how I miss you sometimes, NYC). For Primus’ “Tribute to Kings” Tour, they’ve been playing Rush’s “A Farewell to Kings” album in its entirety. While AFtK definitely has a different vibe than other Rush albums, I couldn’t help but push the envelope in terms of visual madness as tribute to both bands.

I have a stack of the show copies available for sale as well as very limited quantities in two artist variant colorways: “Ice” (blues) and “Fire” (reds, natch). The foils in the variant colorways turned out extremely well. I used a white base for the main image with strategic cutouts for the foil to pop through. I built the white base into a “marbleized” pattern over the foil which gives the final foil a lava foil look. Extremely happy with the result.

The prints will drop this coming Friday, October 8. As always, to get the exact drop time, be sure you’re signed up to the newsletter in the sidebar. Newsletter subscribers get the exact drop time emailed to them in advance, I will warn that there has been MASSIVE interest in these, and there are quite limited quantities. Keep in mind that there are far more interested buyers than prints, so there are limits of no more than one kind of each print per person. No doubles of any single print available: orders of duplicates will be cancelled.

Good luck, and on to the prints!

“I Dissent” Art Print and Fundraiser.

by ncwinters on October 1, 2020

Things are pretty intense right now.

There’s just too much going on in every direction, and like many of you, I’m wishing there was more I could do. The passing of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg spurred me into action and I’ve decided to try and do something about how I feel. So I’ve made a new art print, and am donating half of the proceeds to the ACLU to raise money for those who combat the widespread injustice going on in the country right now. In their words:

“The ACLU dares to create a more perfect union —
beyond one person, party, or side.
Our mission is to realize this promise
of the United States Constitution for all
and expand the reach of its guarantees.“

If you wish to support this cause, please consider buying a print. Or maybe you don’t really have an opinion on this matter and want a print to celebrate the life of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, this is for you as well. There’s a chance you don’t care about any of this and are just collecting my art, and looking to add the next piece in your collection. This works for that too.

The prints are 18″ x 12″ three color screenprints, printed by Lady Lazarus in Houston. They’re available in two versions: the regular print as is for $40, and a hand embellished version for $150. Against better judgement, I’m putting NO limits on the prints, even the hand embellished versions(!). So if you want to buy several, I encourage you to do so, even though my future hands may regret that decision. Right now my goal is to raise as much money to donate as possible.

The prints are available right now, and will be until next Friday, October 9. The total number of prints sold within the window will determine the final edition size. Please understand that the final number of prints sold, both regular and especially hand embellished will determine the final shipping time. My estimate for now is 3-5 weeks from today, but of course, that may change depending on the amount sold. I appreciate your patience in advance!

Thank you for your support as always, and specifically for this print. This is something I feel strongly about and thank each and every one of you who joins me in this endeavor. On to the print!

First New Drawing of 2016 and #366DaysOfWinters.

by ncwinters on January 13, 2016

First new completed piece of the year, and a new project to go along with it!

So, I may have hinted on social media that my first new completed piece of the year is finished, but that piece in fact was begun last year. So this is in fact, my first new piece, started and completed in 2016. It is completed nested within a new project. A few years ago I started my 100 Drawings project. The goal was to create new work every day, with an attempt to complete 100 drawings in the span of a year. Needless to say, the project was slightly ambitious, and I believe it ended up taking around three years total to complete.

Well.

This year, I think I may actually be able to complete the original intended goal, and complete 100 NEW pieces within the span of 2016. Yep, I’m going for it. Again. But this time, I think it will happen. To up the ante, I’ve created a social media hashtag to document a new chunk of drawing progress to be completed EVERY SINGLE DAY. You can follow along with this madness by following the tag #366DaysOfWinters on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter or Tumblr. I’ll post a new bit of drawing everyday and add this tag, with the most direct access point being through my Instagram page. Which, if you’re not following already, is be your best source to keep up with the art making I’m doing daily.

It’s an ambitious goal, to be sure, but one I’m confident I can achieve. Either way, I’ll be documenting the whole process for everyone to follow along with, which gives the added imperative of not failing publicly. Should be fun, either way. My goal is to post every of the 100 drawings goal pieces for sale up in my online shop, with an estimated retail of around $100-$300. The price of each piece will depend on size and complexity. I hope to see you along the journey, but for now, here’s “Another Time.”

Enjoy!
